Synopsis "the child, the family, and the outside world"

Dr. Winnicott explores the basic relationships of childhood starting with the bond of love between mother and infant, which he views as the key to personality. Speaking directly and informally, he explains everyday issues such as feeding, crying, playing, independence, and shyness as well as serious problems such as stealing and lying.Throughout each discussion, Dr. Winnicott emphasizes the inborn abilities of parents and carefully distinguishes these from the skill that must be learned. Fascinating chapters on the roots of aggression, on the fear of dependence and its unfortunate consequences in adulthood, and on the innate morality of the baby reveal Dr. Winnicott's characteristic wit and insight.

(1896-1971) English pediatrician and psychoanalyst, one of the major figures in the psychoanalytic movement following Freud. Studied medicine at the University of Cambridge. During World War I, he was drafted and served as a surgeon. After completing his service, he was able to finish his degree, specializing in pediatrics. While studying pediatrics, he began to show interest in Freudian psychoanalysis after meeting Ernest Jones, psychoanalyst and biographer of Sigmund Freud, who encouraged him to start his Didactic Analysis with James Strachey, a psychoanalysis he later continued with Joan Rivière. Later, Donald Winnicott joined the British Psychoanalytical Society, eventually becoming its president towards the end of his life.
